Rudd School of Rock Director Peter J Rudd is an award-winning musician with 30 years global music experience. He founded Rudd School of Rock in 2005, with the aim of developing a music school in Auckland that provides music tuition of the highest quality - the kind of teaching that inspires true musicianship, encourages a lifelong love of music, and lays firm foundations for budding music performers and creators of tomorrow. We don't just teach you to read music and play songs. We aim to teach you to master the techniques that will make you a top guitarist, singer, keyboard player or drummer and we teach you to understand the inner workings of music so you have the foundation knowledge required to create your own original songs and signature style.

We offer professional tuition in:

Guitar (Acoustic & Electric)

Bass Guitar

Drums & Percussion

Keyboard & Piano

Singing & Vocals

Ukulele

And although "Rock" is in our name, we are not just limited to teaching Rock music! Our music lessons cover techniques and styles across a range of music genres – rock, pop, jazz, classical and blues covering the works of modern artists and past legends. We ensure all students build solid musical foundations, but as lessons are individual, we are able to customise your lesson to suit your particular music tastes.

Why Learn With Us

It is widely known that trying to learn a musical instrument through group lessons, books/dvds/internet and formulaic teaching methods are not effective if you really want to play an instrument well. Too often, students start learning this way and simply lose interest and give up. Lessons become boring, frustrating, little or no progress is made, and no one cares if you are potentially one of tomorrow’s greatest musicians.

At Rudd School of Rock, WE CARE!

To achieve our mission 'Building Future Music Leaders', and to set ourselves apart from other music schools, we pride ourselves on offering:

Expert teachers who are real musicians

Individual lessons focused only on YOU
